I added a bit more to the first post including the part about going to the Plugin Manager. However, this article really isn't for the total novice. You need to understand what a condition is and be able to write one.

I looked but did not find the answer. How do you add a phrase in this code for Sublink 1?

<li><a href="sublink1.php">SubLink 1</a></li>

I tried ' . $vbphrase['my_phrase'] .'
I tried {vb:rawphrase my_phrase}

never mind ... I needed to globalize it

What ever level we understand coding Lynne should not matter, I accept my understanding of coding needs improvement, but that's not the point. We are trying to get our heads around vB4, which is no walk in the park and we look to people like yourself for help. You do a fantastic amount of good here and I personally truly appreciate that, but clear and straight forward guides help more than being told we lack understanding.

To cellarius, I apologise, I find myself enduring a great deal of keyboard warriors here and there and I mistook your post as yet another jibe from another coward hiding behind a keyboard. Didn't mean to be offensive and I am sorry for offending you.

Neither did I want to mock you or anything, sorry for perhaps coming off like that - so, we're good here :)

Anyway, I really see where you are coming from, I learned a lot from tutorials like this very one. I understand what you mean, but it is always about finding a middle way in texts like this. There's some basics you need to build upon if you want to do some in-depth explaining, or the tutorials would get overly complex. There's other articles about the plugin system, and even a section in the manual. If one had to explain that every time again, the articles would be cluttered. Finding this middle way is not always easy, tho, and you won't be able to need everyones needs :o

How can we change the display order of the navbar. Meaning put new items(per this tutorial), so that they show between "blogs" and "whats new"

There are currently three template_hooks available for adding the tabs (I listed them in the first post). If none of those are located where you want them, then you can just add one into the template where you want it. That will require editing the template though.

Lynne,

Thanks for this awesome guide. So I'm trying to hide the tab from people not logged in. Also I only want some user groups to see it. This is what I have so far.

I tried just testing out the if statement first to see if I could only let some user groups see the tab. But that didn't work. Maybe I placed it in the wrong place?

Woot I just fixed it. I put the if statement above the global and it works. Doesn't matter about the member part now. Because if they are not part of the right group it won't even show up. :-)

So here is my answer:

You really should have { and } around the whole thing after your if is_member_of statement. Right now, you are basically just saying if is_member_of then make the $template_hook global, which is needed right now for this plugin to work. If they fix the issue of the $template_hook not being global, then suddenly your plugin isn't going to work because it will be made global elsewhere and therefore work.

Ok so something like this?

Oh this is the Kallell account by the way :-) With your help we found out how to set up more than one account with access.

Yes, that looks correct - you have the content of the whole plugin in the condition now.

Hello Kallell! Now I recognize you. :)
